It’s been a long time since I put one of these theatre listings together! I missed live theatre so much over the last year and a half and it’s been great to see our local theatres coming back to life in recent weeks. As you might expect, there’s plenty on...
Thanks to Wales Millennium Centre for providing complimentary press tickets in return for this review Barely a minute into the first musical number of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and my friend and theatre companion for the night whispers to me, “This is going to be good”. And she’s right. In...
AD/Paid collaboration with Amgueddfa Cymru/National Museum Wales Father Christmas and Friends: At Home is a magical event full of festive fun for families to enjoy in the comfort of their own home. Following on from the success of last year’s At Home digital Christmas event, families will be able to...
Paid collaboration with Carrot Productions There’s something so magically festive about The Snowman. The animated favourite has been delighting audiences since it was first broadcast in 1982 and, for many families (ours included), watching it is a much-loved annual Christmas tradition. This year, you can experience The Snowman as never...
Thank you to Forage Farm for providing us with complimentary entry and a pumpkin each in exchange for this post We had such a fun afternoon at Forage Farm’s Pick Your Own Pumpkin event. We all ended up covered in mud but we laughed so, so much as we...
AD/Paid collaboration with Mermaid Quay How fitting that the UK’s largest animatronic dragon should make its debut public appearance in Cardiff. After all, what other country is lucky enough to have a red dragon on its flag? It’s likely you’ll hear the dragon’s roar before you see it. And at...

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve written an events listings guide! I won’t dwell on what a crazy year and a half it has been, other than to say it’s great to see events going ahead (at the moment, at any rate) and life feeling a little more normal. ...
If you’re thinking it’s been a little bit quiet around here recently, you’d be right. The craziness of the last 20 or so months has meant firstly my priorities have needed to be focussed elsewhere and secondly the days out reviews and upcoming events that I have spent the last...
One more sleep, as my children would say. One more sleep until I take on the biggest physical challenge of my life (so far). Tomorrow morning at 7am I’ll be setting off on the Vale of Glamorgan Ultra Marathon; the VOGUM as it’s known. I’ll be one of around 150...
It was so wonderful to step back inside Wales Millennium Centre yesterday. As a family we are huge theatre fans and also used to regularly attend their free family creative art events, so it’s somewhere we’ve really missed over the last year and a half. Although the big stage productions...
